Fair Play: The Second Coming of the Pac-chuuung.
WHAT would you do if the guy who sits beside you in the jeepney—for no apparent reason—suddenly frowns, rolls his eyes, murmurs a few phrases in English, smiles, then snaps his fingers.
Would you: 1) call the Psych ward; 2) get off ASAP; 3) clear some space; 4) leave him alone?
Apparently, most people would do a combination of 3 and 4.
I was lost in my own world after a wonderful day at the office last week, struggling to find something new to write about Manny Pacquiao.
Thankfully, Time Magazine saved me in the nick of time.
At first, I thought I could join the act and write about his chances against Miguel Cotto, but I thought, now isn’t the time to joke about the Pacman.
Besides, the most important prediction these days came from Oscar de la Hoya. He changed his mind and picked Cotto and that’s that. At first, I was worried because the guy who picked Juan Manuel Marquez, himself and Ricky Hatton, suddenly chose Pacquiao to win.
I was quite relieved when Golden Boy changed his mind.
For those who have followed Pacquiao since he was just a scrawny champ, the Time magazine article offered nothing new.
But I like the ending. At least, on the article I read online.
It referred to Manny Pacquiao’s biggest fight, and no, it isn’t against Cotto.
It’s against Roy Chiongbian for the congressional seat in Saranggani.
It’s the Pac-chuuung Part 2.
What is the Pac-chuuung? It’s no bastard son of Pacquiao and Chiongbian.
It was the reaction a kababayan made in 2007 when I asked him about the prospect of Pacquiao running against Darlene Antonino.
“Huwaak…paaacccc...chuuuuunnng!!!”
If GMA was the lesser evil against FPJ. What was this—Pacquiao, a boxing champ against an Antonino, a family who has sat on the post for 24 years?
A choice between death by hanging and death by buga-buga?
“Huwaak…paaacccc...chuuuuunnng!!!”
Next year, it’s Manny Packy against Roy Chiongee, a filler who got the spot because his brother Erwin already served for three terms. Before him, it was Papa Chiongbian.
The Chiongbians, like the Antoninos or any dynasty, abhor losing their post. That’s why they always find a spare body who can be a filler.
(‘Cause he’s a filler, filler right…And no one’s gonna save you from the beast about to strike…You know he’s just a filler, filler right.’—Sorry MJ, I couldn’t resist)
Pac….quiao? And Chiong….bian?
“Huwaak…paaacccc...chuuuuunnng!!!”
But this time, I hope Packy wins against Chiongeee.
Let’s get rid of the Chiongbians, Packy.
Besides, Packy has a lot to lose if he wins.
The same can’t be said of the Chiongbians.
Straight from Chiongbian’s mouth is this. “I see that there is still a lot that can be done to improve the quality of life of our fellow Sarangans in education, health, agri-development, and peace and order,” The Manila Bulletin’s website quoted him when he announced he was running last Oct. 25.
What was the family doing then, when Brother Dear and Papa Bear were at the helm?
That’s why I want Pacman to gobble Chiongbian. Knock ‘im out, Packy!!!
Sure he’s got no political experience.
But so does The Filler.
If the Chiongbians stay in power, would their apo-sa-kumingking-sa-tiil-say, “I see that there is still a lot that can be done….” when he becomes The Filler?
“Huwaak…paaacccc...chuuuuunnng!!!”
